Competition Engineering or Lakewood... They have things in all Price ranges... My dad runs a set from competition engineering, but my friend mike runs low-end lakewoods on his nova.

Those are both good products, however they are not as functional as an arm could be for a Mustang Suspension. They are Lift Bars and witha 4 link style Mustang Suspension ytou want to replace the Arm with something more functional.

They work but are an Old School Design alos. They force the rear to Lift under acceleration. In reality you want the rear to squat.

They will deffinitely work. However there are better set ups than the SOuthsides. DON't drive on the street with an Anti Roll Bar as the Adjuster links will break.
